title: Pseudoaneurysm of surgically reconstructed right ventricular outflow tract.
abstract: Surgical reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) for congenital heart disease can rarely result in the serious complication of pseudoaneurysm development, with or without symptoms. We report on a case of clinically apparent pseudoaneurysm of the RVOT after homograft replacement for a patient with a history of tetralogy of Fallot.
